Cosmos flowers from my garden
bring their colorful freshness

The ornateness of the sugar jar
handles and lid,
plus a clipping of cosmos
in front of the jar,
and some reflections of
the flower hues in the
shiny surface of the bowl.
Together they bring added detail to this
lovely traditional still life painting.

or tea pot.

between postings. Computers are wonderful

when they are working!

This is an actual place near our home.
A very beautiful and peaceful place.
It's a lagoon with a bridge
fashioned after Claude Monet's
garden bridge in Giverny France.
I painted this plein air just as
Claude Monet would have done.

This is a painting that I had listed

before, but it is the essence of summer

so I hope you enjoy seeing it again.

I was inspired by these petite beautiful

just what the artist was aiming for.

overall feeling of the painting, but I especially

like the the soft fallen petals and their

colorful shadows.

I have been entering the Epiphany Arts Festival for several years.
It is a classy, high quality fun show featuring
different types of art and high quality crafts....
quilts, jewelry, furniture, sculpture, and more.
Artworks are displayed throughout the Narthex and Sanctuary
of the church. The show opens with a wonderful
opening reception and ends a month
later with a spectacular musical event featuring
a multitude of the church's choirs and
other invited guest performances.
I have included a few photos, but there
were many other performers and artworks...
too many to show.

The church's statement of purpose...

"The Christian Season of Epiphany opens with

the light of the stable star and the gifts of the Magi.

The offering of our commitments and talents

are manifestations of God's light and thus they

become a major theme for these weeks.

Epiphany occurs as nature begins to move from

shorter and darker to longer and brighter days.

It is in this special time that the church seeks

to celebrate the artists among us who

offer their insights and talents to the world.

Through the visual arts we hope to promote a

more profound sense of beauty and

greater communication with our

Creator, nature and each other.

In this way we expand our veneration of

God's creation, our self-understanding

and our attention to the world."

Standing beside one of the paintings before
it left for it's new home.

Creating heavenly sounds!

A visiting choir that performs each year.
Behind is the pipe organ that is superbly
played by a young man.

I was sitting in a chair by the window

when I heard a sharp tapping on the glass.

I turned to see what the noise was and

this friendly American Goldfinch was

on the window ledge looking in at me.

As I came closer to the window he

flew into my lavender flowers

about ten feet away.

He came back several times to tap

on the glass and then fly into

my lavender plants.

What a pleasant surprise and

a nice little blessing to start the day.

This dainty Blue Italian Spode Pitcher
is just five-inches tall .. Made in England ....

It is interesting to read that Blue Italian Spode
dates back to 1816 and yet is still made today ..
and is considered a design icon

Orchids number twice as many
species compared to birds
and an amazing number of people
enjoy growing orchids ..
This lovely Orchid stem brings
its beautiful flower blooms
and accompanying leaves to the painting.
